Artist, American, 1912 - 2006

The image shows the back of a person's upper body and head, viewed from behind. The person is standing and appears to be holding a monocle up to their face with one hand. The individual is wearing a tall top hat, a dark jacket, and a stiff, white collar. The background is softly focused and seems to be an outdoor setting, possibly a grassy area stretching into the distance, with blurry elements that might suggest a structure or landscape in the far background.
